relationshipsused

Relationshipsused is a descriptive term used in data science, graph analytics, and information systems to denote the subset of relationships that are actively employed by a particular task, model, or analysis. It is not a formal standard term, but appears in documentation and code to distinguish the relationships that are in use from the total set observed in the data.

In practice, relationshipsused refers to edges or associations that have met predefined criteria such as relevance, confidence, weight, or domain rules. For example, in a graph-based algorithm, only relationships that exceed a significance threshold or pass a quality check may be included in the working graph, making them the relationshipsused for computations.

Contexts where relationshipsused is relevant include graph analytics, knowledge graphs, data integration, and relational modeling. In knowledge graphs, the term can describe the relation types that are activated by a query or included in a reasoning pipeline. In data integration, it may refer to the subset of foreign key relationships retained after schema consolidation.

Determining which relationshipsare used typically involves filtering, scoring, feature selection, or pruning based on domain knowledge and empirical criteria. Clear documentation of the rules that define relationshipsused is important for transparency, reproducibility, and interpretability of results.
